The JLPT just got a little bit harder...

And here we are, at the last of it: Round 3. I apologize in advance to any of you prudish types with the word for 勃.

Thanks for the list Psy.

Also the grammar site in your sig is great. Examples and explanations
entirely in Japanese.

[wccrawford]

The first 16 are up on a list. I'll be adding more to the list as I have time. The word I don't know below is on the list, and I"ll be deleting it and re-adding it as I find out the definition. This may happen more as I find more I can't define.

Psy, I may have to ask you for a few definitions, since I can only find the words in Japanese dictionaries... And I don't understand the definition.

The first one of those is:

五十嵐 いがらし

Yahoo says: 姓氏の一。

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, the list is at: http://www.iknow.co.jp/lists/50142

It seems a little wonky at times but it gets the job done. Covers lots of obscure points and I've yet to search a form that it doesn't contain. It would have been better had it been written entirely by Japanese natives, though.

igarashi is a name, as are usui 臼井 and kondou 近藤. Sorry about the confusion-- I should have indicated as such!

Ahhh... Okay, thanks! I'm going to replace those with vocab as well, then.

[Jessi]

Thanks for the lists! There are a lot of kanji that I didn't even realize weren't on the list of Joyo Kanji (but still knew anyway).

[zakojanai]

This probably warrants a new topic, but I'm putting it here since it fits in with the native Japanese and kanji theme. Apparently the prime minister regularly misreads kanji, which has led to a sales boom in Japan for a book about kanji that are easily misread. The first link is to the article and the second is to the book.

I ended up a few of these that were in any words on Jisho.org, so they aren't in the list.

Thanks again Psy. Didn't notice any errors this time, but you just had to list buttocks after wipe, didn't you?

I noticed this too. I thought it was Aso and his government lolzing around

[Peter]

Psy-san,

Thank you so much for doing this!

I wanted to ask you if it would be okay to create a blog post with your content: the new 常用漢字 lists you put together for everyone. Sometimes not everyone gets to see the forum, and using to blog to share it seems like a good idea.

Of course, we'll give full credit to you and link to the post.

Thank you again.

[Javizy]

Anybody added these to an anki deck yet by chance?

[toliveintokyo]

I find it interesting they have two kanji for lapis lazuli. I had never even heard of this until reading it just now. Is it a popular gemstone in Japan? Or am I strange to not have known what it is?
